1935 Ruth Elizabeth Fogg (83)
Ruth Elizabeth (Fogg) Perry
Contributed obituary, undated:
Ruth Elizabeth Fogg Perry, April 26, 1917 Diamond Springs, California,
to January 9, 2001 Berkeley, California. Ruth was born to Charles and
Winnie Fogg on April 26, 1917 in a farmhouse just outside Diamond
Springs, California, the second child of 4, and the only daughter. Her
earliest years were spent there on the Dunlop Ranch, the spot where her
Scottish grandfather John Patterson Dunlop chose to start life again at
51 as a gentleman farmer of sorts after retiring from a career in the
English navy. Ruth's father was a schoolteacher from Maine, and her
mother was a nurse. In her journal she writes: "Dr. Reckers drove out
from Placerville in his buggy and Aunt Dolly was the nurse in
attendance. She reported that mother and child fared well, in spite of
the primitive conditions. (Dolly said I didn't cry loud enough so she
threw some water on me. The doctor said 'Well, don't drown her
yet.') Memories of that first home include the lilac and almond tree
in full bloom, the squeaky pump at the well, the thick cream hung
skimmed off the pans of milk, the pears ripening in the hay and drying
on the racks, the smudge pots and the acrid smell of sulfur from the
spray rig, the kerosene lamps, the outhouse, and the parlor which was
seldom used." On January 3, 1924, when Ruth was 5 years old, life
changed forever for the Foggs with the tragic death of Winnie. The
years that followed were scrappy, as Ruth's father tried to hold down
various jobs and keep the family together. The children lived
alternately with their father and stepmother, the Everetts (family
friends) and their Dunlop aunts and uncles. Ruth attended 13 different
grammar schools, and learned to get by without very much. She writes:
"Our clothes were simple and our toys whatever we could make out of
the junk around the place. Tin can telephones, wagons, etc. There were
no lessons, but we learned to swim in the American River where we went
at the end of the hot days. School was about a mile away. We trudged
there carrying our lunch pails. In the afternoon we got into the
pasture, which was adjacent to the road and drove the cows home. There
was an Indian burial ground where I often stopped to poke around. Loved
the outdoors. Often slept out all summer and watched the stars. Went on
wild flower walks. Had lots of cats and dogs about. There was very
little money around. If we stacked the wood or gathered the eggs we
might get an orange. There was little time to be lonely or dissatisfied
and we were always wiping dishes or dusting or feeding the chickens or
piling up wood or going to the cellar to get coal. Since we did all
these things together, I was close to my brothers and did everything
they did...I knew we were very poor, but we were well taken care of and
I think growing up where you have to "make-do" is the best
experience anyone can have." In 1930 the family moved to Pacific
Grove. During her high school years there, Ruth formed lasting
friendships, excelled in school and sports, and began to develop as a
singer of some distinction. She always spoke of high school as being
the most fun part of her youth. Ruth graduated from UC Berkeley in 1939
where she majored in public speaking and physical education. After Cal
she taught high school PE and English in Live Oak for 2 years. When the
War came along, rather than worry about her brothers who were all in
uniform, she signed up for the Red Cross. She served in New Zealand and
Guam, helping wounded soldiers rehabilitate themselves by doing arts
and crafts. About the men she writes: "They taught me. I would ask
them what they wanted to do, would get the materials and watch what
they did. Later on I would teach what they did." After the war she
taught adult school at Berkeley High School, took art classes, and
eventually started her own fabric printing business, called "Graham
Designs." On June 10, 1949, Ruth married Lewis Perry. They met in the
choir of the First Congregational Church of Berkeley. Lewis says he
used to stare at the back of her luxuriant head of hair at choir
practice until he got up the courage one night to ask her out. They
were married in the FCCB chapel and honeymooned at Huntington Lake. In
1950, Lewis and Ruth bought a house on Willow Avenue in Corte Madera
with a huge willow tree in the backyard and a neighborhood full of
friends for their three girls Ayn, Cynthia and Marilyn who arrived
between 1951 and 1956. During her pregnancy with Marilyn, Ruth
contracted polio and spent 3 weeks in quarantine before the delivery.
In 1964 the Perrys moved to Sacramento. This was a difficult move
because of the family's ties to the Bay Area but Ruth took advantage
of the opportunity to have a new house and workshop built to her
specifications. The lot was along a tree-lined creek and Ruth created a
multi-part garden there with 2 fish ponds and stone pathways winding
among the plants and fruit trees. Only 4 years later, Lewis's career
brought him back to UC in Berkeley, and the family moved to Woodside
Road in Park Hills. During her years in Berkeley, besides running the
Perry household, Ruth was a main mover in the Art Co-op, several
committees at The First Congregational Church, and The Berkeley Folk
Dancers. From 1970 on, she and Lewis had a steady stream of people
living with them. Through the FCCB Refugee Assistance Committee they
helped to sponsor 10 refugee families, 7 from Southeast Asia and 3 from
Poland. Ruth was always in touch with Washington and wrote countless
letters and made countless phone calls to presidents and
congresspeople. She took innumerable art classes, often finding that
she knew more about the subject than her teachers. With friends she had
an annual crafts sale, and in recent years the proceeds were donated to
worthy non-profits. She sang in the FCCB choir and recently started to
take piano lessons again. She and Lewis traveled widely and attended 30
elderhostels. When she was 77 Ruth decided it was time to move down to
the flats and, through friends, found a lovely remodeling project on
Albina Avenue. This turned out to be a wonderful place for her to spend
her last years and host her 4 grandchildren (Robyn, Ross, Mateo and
Rachel), on a street full of caring neighbors in a house with a
sun-filled workshop, and a flat lot where she created yet another
beautiful garden.

SOUTH BAY CLOTHIER RAYMOND KOPP, 82
By Betty Barnacle / Mercury News
Raymond and Addie Kopp were as close as the name of their clothing
stores: Addie Raymond. Mr. Kopp was "very compatible," said Addie Kopp.
It's an understated description of the couple's relationship of nearly
60 years as husband and wife, much of that time as business partners in
Cupertino and Campbell. "He was a wonderful man with a great sense of
humor. He was-is-a part of me, always the best part," said Addie Kopp.
"He kept old shoes and old friends." Mr. Kopp died last week at 82
after a long battle with heart disease. The couple closed their upscale
Cupertino shop at Vallco Fashion Park in 1987 when Mr. Kopp's heart
problems were so serious he had bypass surgery. For two more years they
kept their Campbell store in the Pruneyard open. Although it was
successful, they shuttered that outlet also in 1989 when Mr. Kopp
wanted to retire. Still, Mr. Kopp never let his ailment keep him down.
"He was ill but people didn't know," Addie Raymond said. "We saw people
and traveled. He loved traveling. We took seven cruises with our
closest friends." Mr. Kopp met Addie Lazarus when he was 20, the day
before she turned 16. They married two years later, right after the
1941 attack on Pearl Harbor when the United States entered World War
II. Mr. Kopp joined the Army Air Corps. After the war, Mr. Kopp joined
the large retail firm Zukor's, which had stores in Washington and
throughout California, including seven in the Bay Area. In 1959, Mr.
Kopp was made manager of the Zukor's clothing shop in downtown San
Jose. In 1971, the couple opened their own store. They decided to link
their first names for the sign in front of the building they had
constructed on a corner in the Pruneyard. Things went so well with the
business, the Kopps opened a second Addie Raymond at Vallco in 1977.
Soon after the couple retired, Mr. Kopp signed up to teach English as a
second language to Russian immigrants. "He didn't know Russian," his
wife said. "But after doing it a while, he decided to see what life was
like in Russia. So off we went." Mr. Kopp, who also collected stamps
for many years, was a member of Congregation Shir Hadash. "Ray was not
a joiner," Addie Kopp said, noting that he had dropped his membership
in business organizations when they opened their first store. "But he
was close to the friends he really loved." He also gave his heart to
something else. "We loved what we did, and our customers recognized
it," Addie Kopp said. "It was our life, not just our bread and butter."

Stanley "Stan" Clark Temple Sr. '35 was one of the most gifted
artists of his era. Many of our 'elder members' will recall
Stan's parents who operated a candy store out of the front room of
their house on the East side of Pine Avenue School. During recess times
pupils were not supposed to go into the store - only during noon and
before and after school - but, we often did. Often ending up in
trouble, perhaps it was possible we might have even had to be sent to

Ex-P.G. Mayor Florus Williams dies
By KEVIN HOWE
Former Pacific Grove Mayor Florus Williams died Wednesday morning at
his home at the age of 86.Mr. Williams served on the Pacific Grove City
Council from 1971 to 1986, the last 10 years as mayor ."People who saw
him on the street always referred to him as 'Mr. Mayor'," said his wife
of 63 years, Frances Williams. "He really loved this town. Some people
still thought he was Mayor. "Williams was born Jan. 2, 1916, in Fresno
but came to Pacific Grove with his family at age 7 to spend his life in
what came to be called "The Last Hometown." Frances Williams said her
husband's family was living in the San Joaquin Valley town of Lindsay
when her future father-in-law came to Pacific Grove to build a theater.
"The family came for a two-week vacation and never went back. They left
all their possessions there." "He served the city well," said former
Pacific Grove Fire Chief and City Councilman Don Gasperson, who served
in both positions while Mr. Williams was mayor. Gasperson also hailed
from Lindsay. "He was considered a very fair person, a hometown boy. He
and Frances represented the city with a lot of dignity and grace." His
time on the council was marked by a major series of public works
undertaken by the city, said Gary Bales, who served as city manager
throughout Mr. Williams' time in Pacific Grove government. "These were
difficult years," he said, "with city projects and financing them, when
we were first dealing with the effects of Proposition 13," the state
ballot initiative that limited local property tax increases. Among the
projects undertaken and completed while Mr. Williams was mayor, Bales
said, were additions to the Pacific Grove Public Library and Museum of
Natural History, construction of a police station, repair of the
municipal pier at Lovers Point and work on the city's sewer system.
"Whenever project areas were talked about," Bales recalled, "Florrie
always had a sense of history about it: what had been there earlier,
who the people were. He knew the people of the community, being a
lifelong resident, and the people knew him." Mr. Williams was active in
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and involved in the
city's annual Feast of Lanterns from 1958 to 1986. He was also active
with youth organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America, and
undertook two religious missions for the LDS Church. Mr. Williams was a
member of Masonic Lodge 331 in Pacific Grove and was a recipient of the
Masons' Hiram Award. After he left Pacific Grove politics, Mr. Williams
served for a year on the Monterey County Planning Commission. He and
his late brother Everett Williams were friends of author John
Steinbeck, Frances Williams said, and Everett appears in some of
Steinbeck's writings. Mr. Williams had been bedridden since September,
his wife said, from complications from a broken hip. Funeral
arrangements are pending at Paul Mortuary
